"Finding Cholita" is fictionalized ethnography of the Ayacucho
region of Peru covering a thirty-year period from the 1970s to
today. It is a story of human tragedy resulting from the region's
long history of discrimination, class oppression, and then the rise
and fall of the communist organization Shining Path. The story's
narrator, American anthropologist Dr. Alice Woodsley, attempts to
locate her goddaughter, Cholita, who is known to have joined
Shining Path and to have murdered her biological father, who
fathered her through rape. Searching for Cholita, Woodsley devotes
herself to documenting the stories of the countless Andean peasant
women who were raped by soldiers, often going beyond witnessing as
she helps the women relieve the pain of their sexual horror.
